It appears that the Public Transport Journey Planner at Viclink has been improved significantly. How funky! Now I can type in exact addresses, and it will automagically figure out travel patterns for me! It was already pretty good before (in that it linked bus stops to the system), but now I can literally just type in where I am and where I want to go and it'll do all the thinking for me! It even makes up PDF maps of the transit journey, links to maps of the various legs of the journey, it can even do turn-by-turn instruction on the walking legs!

It's so very spiffy. Don't ask me why I'm so excited about this, I'm not entirely sure I know myself. Now, if only I could get this database onto my iPod, so I could look it up on the run...

Yeah, I saw that the other day. It's quite handy really.

It's suddenly very similar to the one that Perth has...

I have problems with it. All this fancy "tell us the exact time and place you want to travel and we will tell you exactly the route to take" annoys me particularly as it takes several steps to complete. Just show me the bloody timetables and let me do the rest!
